Great course!

It's too bad quite a few golfers are not repairing their pitch marks on the green. Also, we encountered fresh spike marks on the green on nearly every hole.

Some players.just don't get it!

hidden gem

This course is difficult, but has an interesting and fun layout. Number 11 is weird. double dogleg and kind of gimmicky.

The greens fees are a bargain.

Very Nice

Turf is excellent, beautiful layout, greens are good but could be a bit faster for me. Only complaint are sand traps. No sand, just packed dirt gravel mix

My nemesis

Played 100s of courses in 25-30 states. Oak is an amazing layout, that crushes my soul. It will penalize any wayward shot, has plenty of length, great deception but very fair. I’m maybe a 10-12 handicap, but have yet to break 90 from the 6600+ Blue Championship tees. Blacks bring in more pain.

We’ve played here for 4 years, course was in the best shape yet. Maybe new management.

Great value, layout and experience.

Great Course w/Friendly Staff

This is a terrific and somewhat challenging course to play. It is affordable and the staff in the Pro Shop and at the bar are very personable and friendly. Austin and Tim were excellent. I love coming to this course, as it is a hidden gem in Harvard, IL. The practice putting green needs some fixing, along with the bunkers needing to be raked to get loose rocks out. The natural beauty of this course is what makes it so nice.
